Don’t be disappointed if people refuse to help you. Remember the words that Albert Einstein said:
“I am thankful to all those who said NO. Because of them, I did it myself.”

Having unrealistic expectations is believed to be poison for our relationship, career, happiness and life in general. The best way to avoid disappointment is to not expect anything from anyone! ❤☀

SON: "Daddy, may I ask you a question?"

DAD: "Yeah sure, what is it?"

SON: "Daddy, how much do you make an hour?"

DAD: "That's none of your business. Why do you ask such a thing?"

SON: "I just want to know. Please tell me, how much do you make an hour?"

DAD: "If you must know, I make $100 an hour."

SON: "Oh! (With his head down).

SON: "Daddy, may I please borrow $50?"
The father was furious.

DAD: "If the only reason you asked that is so you can borrow some money to buy a silly toy or some other nonsense, then you march yourself straight to your room and go to bed. Think about why you are being so selfish. I work hard everyday for such this childish behavior."

The little boy quietly went to his room and shut the door.

The man sat down and started to get even angrier about the little boy's questions. How dare he ask such questions only to get some money?

After about an hour or so, the man had calmed down, and started to think:

Maybe there was something he really needed to buy with that $ 50 and he really didn't ask for money very often. The man went to the door of the little boy's room and opened the door.

DAD: "Are you asleep, son?"

SON: "No daddy, I'm awake".

DAD: "I've been thinking, maybe I was too hard on you earlier. It's been a long day and I took out my aggravation on you. Here's the $50 you asked for."

The little boy sat straight up, smiling.

SON: "Oh, thank you daddy!"

Then, reaching under his pillow he pulled out some crumpled up bills. The man saw that the boy already had money, started to get angry again. The little boy slowly counted out his money, and then looked up at his father.

DAD: "Why do you want more money if you already have some?"

SON: "Because I didn't have enough, but now I do.

"Daddy, I have $100 now. Can I buy an hour of your time? Please come home early tomorrow. I want to play with you."

The father was crushed. He put his arms around his little son, and he begged for his forgiveness. It's just a short reminder to all of you working so hard in life.
We should not let time slip through our fingers without having spent some time with those who really matter to us, those close to our hearts.

Once upon a time, there was an island where all the feelings lived..
Happiness, Sadness, Knowledge, and all of the others, including Love.
One day it was announced to the feelings that the island would sink, so all constructed boats and left.. Except for Love..
Love was the only one who stayed. Love wanted to hold out until the last possible moment.
When the island had almost sunk, Love decided to ask for help.
Richness was passing by Love in a grand boat. Love said, "Richness, can you take me with you?"
Richness answered, "No, I can't. There is a lot of gold and silver in my boat. There is no place here for you."
Love decided to ask Vanity who was also passing by in a beautiful vessel."Vanity, please help me!""I can't help you, Love.
You are all wet and might damage my boat," Vanity answered.
Sadness was close by so Love asked, "Sadness, let me go with you."
"Oh . . . Love, I am so sad that I need to be by myself!"
Happiness passed by Love, too, but she was so happy that she did not even hear when Love called her..
Suddenly, there was a voice, "Come, Love, I will take you..
"It was an elder. So blessed and overjoyed,
Love even forgot to ask the elder where they were going.
When they arrived at dry land,
The elder went her own way. Realizing how much was owed..Love asked Knowledge, another elder, "Who Helped me?"
"It was Time," Knowledge answered.
"Time?" asked Love. "But why did Time help me?
"Knowledge smiled with deep wisdom and answered, "Because only Time is capable of understanding how valuable Love is.

Lesson of Time

"When the bird is alive, it eats ants, When the bird is dead, ants eat it."

Whenever time and circumstances may change, Never degrade or hurt anyone in life. You may be powerful today but remember, time is more powerful than you!

One tree can produce a million fires, But one piece of fire is enough to burn a million trees.

Life on earth is like a cart wheel , it goes up and down, think carefully on the way you are going but don't be happy to look down on and criticize those who don't have today because you don't know tomorrow

This life is just temporary

The key element to any relationship is trust, so before starting this beautiful journey with your spouse, learn to trust in all circumstances.

5 WAYS TO KILL DIFFICULTIES IN YOUR LIFE
1. Accept the situation: Acknowledge the situation you are in and accept it. Denying or ignoring the problem won't make it go away. Acceptance helps you to remain calm and find a solution.
2. Focus on the solution: Instead of focusing on the problem, focus on finding a solution. If one solution doesn't work, try another until you find one that works.
3. Seek help: Don't be afraid to seek help. Talk to someone you trust, such as a friend, family member, or therapist. They can offer you support and advice.
4. Take care of yourself: Deal with stress by doing things you enjoy, such as exercising, meditating, or spending time in nature.
5. Learn from your experience: Every difficulty is an opportunity to learn. Reflect on what happened, what you learned, and how you can use this experience to become stronger and more resilient in the future.

OUR STAGES OF ELIMINATION IN LIFE
1.⁠ ⁠At 60, the workplace eliminates you. No matter how successful or powerful you were during your career, you'll return to being an ordinary person. So, don't cling to the mindset and sense of superiority from your past job, let go of your ego, or you might lose your sense of ease!
2.⁠ ⁠At 70, society gradually eliminates you. The friends and colleagues you used to meet and socialize with become fewer, and hardly anyone recognizes you at your former workplace. Don't say, "I used to be..." or "I was once..." because the younger generation won't know you, and you mustn't feel uncomfortable about it!
3.⁠ ⁠At 80, family slowly eliminates you. Even if you have many children and grandchildren, most of the time you'll be living with your spouse or by yourself. When your children visit occasionally, it's an expression of affection, so don't blame them for coming less often, as they're busy with their own lives!
4.⁠ ⁠At 90, the Earth wants to eliminate you. Some of the people you knew have already departed forever. At this point, don't be sad or mournful, because this is the way of life, and everyone will eventually follow this path!
REMEMBER,
1. the only thing that won't eliminate you eternally is God because at the end of our journey here on earth we shall all return to Him with accounts of how we lived our lives
2. So, meet Him more,
3. Communicate with Him more,
4. Obey His orders, and
5. Maintain your presence with Him
Therefore, while our bodies are still capable, live life to the fullest! Worship God in truth and in spirit. And there will be no regrets living out our lives for Him!
Be blessed!

Remember choices made in anger can't be undone.

10 RELATIONSHIP ADVISE FOR MEN
1. If a woman shows interest in you, make your intentions known immediately. The earlier the better.
2. If a woman is already in a relationship, don’t even bother to convince her to abandon her current relationship for you, the game always rotates which means someone will take her away from you too.
3. Don’t start a relationship with any sort of inconsistency, for example, If you start a relationship with an excessive gift, then make sure you don’t stop.
4. In the case of misunderstanding or argument, never you yell or hit a woman. Learn to settle issues amicably.
5. So many people keep saying that understanding is what makes a good relationship last long and eventually lead to marriage, I believe you should replace your understanding with communication or social skills!( because, it is communication that brings understanding)
6. Relationships are also expensive so yes, you need money therefore, don’t stop making money.
7. Relationships require time, energy and hard work, I will advise you to get your life together before even venturing into a serious relationship.
8. Never date a woman with the mindset of changing her, you can never raise an adult and that's why she is a woman. If you met her as a smoker, continue to love her as one!
9. Take care of your personal health, eat healthily, dress good, love her, respect her, engage her in as many outdoor activities as possible
10. There is nothing like friend zone. You are the one that zoned your own self with the hope of maybe she will consider you, learn to accept and embrace rejection and move on like a fast-moving train.

Control your habits otherwise they start control you.

Hate is heavy, let it go.

People are prisoners of their phones. That's why they are called cell phones !

The right person will never leave you alone.

Rich or poor it all ends the same way.

Cain killed Abel not because Abel wronged him or fought with him but, it was because Cain couldn't stand the FAVOR OF GOD on Abel's life.

Sometimes you may wonder why people talk behind your back, why they hate you, why they do the things they do to you.

It's not that you have a problem, it's because they can't stand the favor of God on your life.

That's why you don't need to stress yourself over people who are determined to frustrate or misunderstand you.

You have to understand that not everyone will like you but everyone shall witness that you are favored by the Lord.

Stand firm in God and what you believe in and no one can shake you. See less

Plan for your retirement now, not later...

Men
Never depend on anyone, not even at your old age.

Plan for your retirement. Plan for your old age. You won't stay young for ever.

The life of a man is full of battles and struggles. Starting from the infancy till old age, you are always put under pressure .

You are expected to work hard and provide for other people without considering yourself, so that at your old age, you will depend on the others for survival. You can change the narrative.

As a teenager, you are expected to start providing for your parents even with no academic qualifications, no skills and no inheritance from your parents.

When you grow older, you are expected to work harder to provide for your parents, siblings, girlfriends or wives and children. You are expected to do all these without a complain simply because you are a man even with no stable source of income, no job, no connections no inheritance from your parents.

Life of a man is chaotic and full of troubles. You are expected to toil from your infancy till death even as that, you are not appreciated.

With many men having no time to enjoy their lives, take proper care of themselves and totally depend on the mercy of their children at the old age.

No wonder many of them die before their times; some were abandoned by the same children they sacrificed everything for, some children became "Simps" and wandered away with strange vvomen while some children became Uzeless and unsuccessful causing heartbreak to the fathers .

Men
As you are investing in your children, remember to invest for your old age so that you won't be disappointed at the end.

Therefore, have few children that you can train and give them quality education but never put all your hopes on them since you don't know what they will turn out to be.
Never depend on anyone for survival, whether you are young or old, be self reliant, be self sufficient.
Be wise
Don't looseguard.
